#PaperbackMonday is a simple retweet competition where the winner walks away with ANY PAPERBACK BOOK from this 3-for-2 bestsellers display (see above pic).

How it works:

– Every Monday, we’ll tweet several competition tweets on our @BlackwellMcr account, tagged with #PaperbackMonday. Retweet any one of them. ONE WINNING RETWEETER (must be following too) is picked at random at 5pm on Monday.

– We’ll DM our winner for their details. The winner has TWO WEEKS to come and pick a free book from our 3-for-2 bestsellers on our ground floor – your choice!

– Collection only.

– The following will not be able to win: Blackwell’s employees amd their close family, awful generic competition-entry Twitter accounts, people who have won fairly recently,people who obviously live too far away to collect, the CEO of Am*z*n, my Aunt Nellie.

And actually, they’re super-cute children’s board books: the lighting and arrangement of the photographs are staggeringly good.
